Amazon are killing off their old Kindles - notably the ones which still let you remove DRM from their ebooks.
I suspect that it is also because they can't connect to modern TLS servers.
A shame, although I was only using it for stripping DRM.
There are a few jailbreaks but the hardware and software is ancient, so I might have to repurpose mine as yet another semi-passive display.

I wanted to buy an ebook for my son, I was surprised how expensive the open platform ones are.
It's holding me back.

@bobdvb @Edent yeah, the Amazon devices are almost certainly loss leaders, even when you pay extra to have no ads.

Consider a second hand older Kindle and root it/put alternate firmware or reader app on it?
